Hi all,
Now, seriously, would any port be taken by a JABO and a guy in an M3 driving ten drunks home?
Ports are important targets, should be defended as such!
More ack, harder to bomb, more troops to capture...
Harder to get, in 3 words.
Cheers,

I feel there should be additional AAA at the ports.
As far as more troops... I think it should be raised to 20 or 30 across the board for Port, Air Fields, and Vehicle Bases.

How about this real novel idea and up some fighters to defend it? Oh wait, that would entail you actually trying to fight someone. My mistake, carry on.

I have come in NOE into a VH. 1 262 for deacking and 1 goon from the other side. 262 deacks and then dies trying to kill the flaks that came out to defend. Goon turns off engines and glides in. Troops out and the base is gone with everyone wondering what happened.
You cant always deffend on time. You cant always just keep looking at the map to see whats flashing. Sometimes you are in a plane fighting you know?
Maybe attach a town to them. Killing a few guns is not worth a base, IMO

Hi chaps,
Thank you for your replies. I've been in many desperate port defenses. Usually airborne, sometimes in ack, sometimes in GV's...
Still think they are pretty undefended, especially in automatic mode.
Experts take a Port in 2 minutes. It takes 2, usually, although I took one by myself once.
More troops for capture, over the board, would be nice, yes.
Cheers,

I have taken ports and V-bases solo before.
Fly 110 in, kill the ack. I even took the time to fly back and land then reupped a Goon w/ troops.
That's the only reason I say it should take 20-30 troops. Keeps you from being able to solo capture.
-
Ports should have their own runways so they don't to rely on the CV for airborne support (especially under circumstances where the guys defending don' HAVE the CV, because the other country has hid it somewhere off the map). Maybe with Blue Planes only?
-
About the only change needed IMO is adding 1-2 more vehicle hangers. Once that 1 is gone there is no more defense.

Hi chaps!
I'm with BaldEagl here: 2 more VHs but I would add 10 extra ack positions, 2 mannable, 8 fully auto and would up the # of troops to 30.
Think that it would do or, at least, it would take 4 guys to take it...
Cheers,
